A woman goes viral for saying that she divorced her husband because she didn't agree to stay if he went broke. Marcus and Jessica delve into this story to discuss what some refer to as the “transactional marriage.” Do you think she's wrong for leaving him?

So you won’t know that you’ll be missing a look at what form a modern Second Coming might take – will it be ‘Miracles for Money’ from a Transactional Jesus?

Workhorse husbands, “I-don't-need-a-man” girlfriends, and the question every couple secretly asks: Is today's relationship just a transaction? John and Nicole tear into the clash between female independence and masculine purpose—arguing over exclusivity rules, whether men should ditch all other women (real and virtual), and why some guys feel useless in an era that says women can do it all.

We begin with some foreign policy news to show once again that the grifters were wrong about everything about the war. Plus, they don't seem to be bothered by Trump's waffling on Ukraine. Next, I discuss the bottom line about the reconciliation bill, how inflation is not being dealt with, and how the Trump administration is fundamentally misdiagnosing the housing problem. We're joined by Kevin Freeman for an update on the transactional gold movement, the only functional solution to inflation. The movement is on the cusp of adding a fifth state to the list of those that have adopted transactional accounts into law. We discuss the next steps in expeditiously implementing the accounts. We need a solid comptroller in Texas (I'm supporting Don Huffines), and most importantly, Trump must issue an executive order exempting transactional gold from capital gains taxes. We must stay vigilant, because some banking interest will try to strangle this amazing idea at the executive and regulatory levels. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This episode is a conversation with Spellbook co-founder Scott Stevenson about intersection of technology and creativity. Spellbook is a AI contract co-pilot for transactional lawyers that plugs into Microsoft Word. Despite founding a legal technology company, Scott is not a lawyer but is computer engineer by training. As a kid Scott was into video games and in fourth grade he talked his parents into getting him a computer because he wanted to figure out how to create them. By middle school he was building websites and eventually landed an internship at Electronic Arts. Scott is also interested in electronic music and he launched his first start up, Mune, with a music professor, to create a whole new musical instrument that combined the power of digital music with an acoustic instrument. It was during his time at Mune that Scott started to think about building a legal tech company. After he got his first legal bill he figured there might be a more efficient and less expensive way to do legal work. So he and lawyer buddy founded Rally, a document automation and templating engine for law firms which later begat Spellbook, but he funny thing about Spellbook, it was originally conceived as a marketing idea to generate leads for Rally.   Things We Talk About in This Episode   Mune (Scott's Digital Instrument Startup) Episode Credits Editing and Production: Grant Blackstock Theme Music: Home Base (Instrumental Version) by TA2MI

What do you do after a great message… and then silence? Most leaders lose momentum not because they don't know who to call, but because they don't know how to follow up when they don't get a response. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I break down my 7x7 follow-up framework, seven meaningful touches over seven weeks, and how to build a system that helps you stay consistent without ever feeling pushy. If you want to win at recruiting, you've got to stop chasing and start building trust over time. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – Why most recruiting efforts stall out after the first unanswered message. [01:00] Prospect Every Week – Block protected time to research and build your short list of 10–20 candidates. [02:00] Focus on Depth, Not Volume – Personalization wins. Transactional messages don't. [03:00] The 7x7 Framework – One value-based touch per week for seven weeks: Week 1: Affirmation message Week 2: No-pressure email introduction Week 3: 60-second video with perspective Week 4: Share a valuable resource Week 5: Silent call (register as a missed call) Week 6: Friendly text follow-up Week 7: Creative personal touch (e.g. voice memo, handwritten note, small gift) [06:00] Move to Nurture Mode – After week 7, slow the cadence but stay on the radar with light, regular touches. [07:00] Use a Tracking System – Don't manage follow-up in your head. Use a CRM, spreadsheet, or board to keep cadence consistent. [08:00] Train the Right Mindset – Recruiting isn't a sales cycle. It's a trust cycle, and trust takes time. Key Takeaways Follow-Up Is Where You Win – Great recruiting isn't about who you reach out to first. It's about how you show up after silence. Use a 7x7 Cadence – Seven weeks, seven touches, each adding value, not pressure. Be the Consistent One – When their world shifts, they'll remember who stayed in front of them without selling. Build the System – Set it and stay with it. A tracker turns good intention into real execution. Lead Your Team Into This – Coach your recruiters to play the long game, not the instant results game. The leaders who win at recruiting aren't sending more messages. They're sending better messages, on purpose, over time, with value.

You want to succeed.But will you recognize success when it happens?What will be its indicators? How will you measure it?Most importantly, how long are you willing to pursue it?You probably overestimate what you can accomplish in a year, and underestimate what you can accomplish in ten years.How many years have you been pursuing your dream?Experience is the name you are allowed give to your mistakes, but only if you have learned from them.Some people have ten years of experience.Most people have one year of experience ten times.Ninety-nine percent of business owners* will continue to defend their marketing beliefs and management practices even when those beliefs and practices continue to underperform year after year.These business owners underperform because traditional wisdom often feels like common sense.The problem with traditional wisdom is that it is usually more tradition than wisdom.Here's how that happens:Your goal is lead generation.You create an ad that mixes urgency – a limited-time offer – with a strong value proposition. The features-and-benefits of your limited-time-offer dramatically outweigh the price.Your plan is to upsell the customer after they allow you into their home.This is called “transactional advertising” because you are advertising a transaction.Here's the problem: Transactional ads don't differentiate you. In fact, they blur you into your category, making you indistinguishable from your competitors.This is Today's Traditional Wisdom:STEP 1: Give Google most of your profits and keep your fingers crossed. Keep a sharp eye on your cost-per-lead, your conversion rate, and your gross profit per sale.STEP 2: Keep doing this, week after week, month after month.STEP 3: Once a year, calculate how much your cost-per-sale has increased.STEP 4: Contact the people in your peer group to see if their experience has been the same as yours.STEP 5: Yes. Their experience has been the same as yours.STEP 6: Tell yourself, “Everyone else in our category is experiencing exactly what we have been experiencing. This means that everything is under control.”STEP 7: Continue to do this. In 9 more years, you will have had one year's experience 10 times.Roy H. WilliamsPS – A smart person makes a mistake, learns from it, and never makes that mistake again. But a wise person finds a smart person and learns how to avoid that mistake altogether.A wise person discovers relational marketing.*ADDENDUMWe gathered data from 64 reputable sources. It can reasonably be estimated that there are about 117,000 companies in the US that provide HVAC services, 132,000 provide plumbing services, and 252,000 provide electrical services. (117,000 + 132,000 + 252,000 = 501,000)Let's assume for the sake of this example that those numbers are elevated. A lot of home service companies offer two or more services.Let's further assume that a lot of them are going to be commercial, not residential. So we will reduce the aggregate estimate of 501,000 companies down to just 100,000 companies competing for the opportunity to serve homeowners across America.Here is the fascinating part: we know for a fact that only 638 of those companies have a top line of $20,000,000 or more each year, and...

This podcast episode features an enlightening dialogue with Pastor Randy Jumper, who offers invaluable insights into the evolving dynamics of partnerships between missionaries and local churches. The focus of our discussion centers on the necessity for a paradigm shift in how we perceive and engage in these partnerships, moving from a transactional mindset to one of genuine relational investment. Pastor Jumper emphasizes the importance of mutual understanding and communication, advocating for missionaries to approach their supporters with a spirit of collaboration rather than mere solicitation. He further illuminates the challenges faced by the American church in the post-COVID landscape, highlighting the need for missionaries to be acutely aware of these shifts. Ultimately, this conversation seeks to inspire both missionaries and church leaders to foster deeper connections that transcend traditional boundaries, thereby enriching the mission of the church in a global context.

In this episode, we're joined by Jordan Mix, partner at Late Checkout, for an in-depth discussion on how startups can build a million-dollar brand in today's hyper-competitive landscape. Jordan introduces the concept of digital gravity—a framework for creating “mass” on the internet that draws customers into your brand's orbit. The conversation explores how companies can move beyond linear funnels and embrace orbit-based growth, where repeated brand interactions across multiple channels drive purchasing decisions.Together, we break down actionable strategies for generating traction, including the smart use of AI agents, automation, and vibe marketing. Jordan shares insights on balancing transactional marketing (like paid ads and cold outreach) with long-term brand-building investments, while emphasizing the role of creators, content flywheels, and the importance of being discoverable in AI-driven search results.Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction: Building a million-dollar brand in 2025 00:27 - Meet Jordan Mix and overview of Late Checkout 01:10 - The idea of digital gravity and mass in the AI era 03:00 - Funnels vs. orbits: How people really buy 06:15 - Automation, AI agents, and vibe marketing explained 10:45 - AI SEO, branded search, and surviving the law of shitty click-throughs 15:20 - Building discovery flywheels and creator-driven growth 20:30 - Strategies for leveraging YouTube, Reels, and creators at scale 25:00 - Managing creator risk and internal content strategies 28:00 - How to start creating digital gravity without overwhelmKey Points: • Digital Gravity Framework — Customers enter your orbit through repeated brand interactions, not linear funnels. The goal is to create mass (content, tools, assets) that attracts and retains attention. • AI Agents + Automation — Jordan highlights practical uses of AI agents, like automating outreach campaigns, creating dynamic ad workflows, or scraping competitive data to inform marketing. • Transactional vs. Brand Marketing — Early traction often comes from transactional tactics (ads, cold outreach), but long-term success requires investment in brand and content that lowers acquisition costs over time. • SEO in the Age of AI — With LLMs scraping Google's top pages, brands need to dominate bottom-of-funnel keywords and question-based queries to appear in AI search results. • Creator-Led Growth — Partnering with creators can trigger a viral cascade where hundreds of pieces of content are generated without direct cost, building digital gravity passively.Key Takeaway: Startups should focus first on finding where their customers spend time, test 2-3 channels, and double down on what works. From there, build repeatable processes and automate intelligently. The goal: maximize digital mass where it matters most, so your brand becomes the natural choice when buyers are ready.Notable Quotes: • “Funnels create linear growth. If you want exponential growth, you need digital gravity.” — Jordan Mix • “Where are your customers? Build as much mass as possible in that space.” — Jordan Mix • “Every ring you put out is like a mini-funnel — together they form the black hole of your brand.”Guest Socials: X: @jrdnmix LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordan-mix1/

Welcome to perhaps the most consequential grassroots-driven public policy initiative in U.S. history. On June 1st, the Texas state legislature became the fifth in the nation to exercise a little-noted constitutional authority to make gold and silver coin legal tender and “functional money.” The instigator of the Transactional Gold and Silver movement is my friend, Kevin Freeman, the author of the best-seller that launched it, Pirate Money: Discovering the Founders' Plan for Economic Justice and Defeating the Great Reset. Will Governor Greg Abbott now enable Texans and others to have an alternative to paper dollars that are worth ever-less and the totalitarianism-enabling Central Bank Digital Currency the Federal Reserve wants to foist upon us?  Or will he surrender to banking lobbyists indifferent to this mighty blow for freedom and, interestingly, even the opportunity for their industry to benefit from it, too? This is Frank Gaffney.

TT – Back to the Future of Money In this show the teenagers (Deven and Ethan) discuss technology and some big changes for the future. They talk about “Transactional gold” which is gold that you can use, save and spend (possibly like a bank account). They also discuss AI and how while it may replace many jobs, it might not be as bad as you think. It could make our world a better place, if done right.  Sponsors: American Gold Exchange Our dealer for precious metals & the exclusive dealer of Real Power Family silver rounds.

Sydney-based Tamar Krebs started as a Registered Nurse, but her decades of experience as a senior manager operating Retirement Villages, Nursing Homes and Dementia Units, led this visionary thinker to believe we needed to deliver much better care for our aged and demented loved ones; that the existing model of 100 people living under the one roof, in an institution, is not giving people who need assistance the best outcomes. Tamar decided the entire sector needed upending – to go from the merely task-focused Transactional, to Transformational care that allows older and demented people to live in a small household, a home of roughly 6- 10 residents, with a staff to client ratio of 1 “homemaker” to 3 or 4 residents, and where everyone is involved in running the household, just as had happened in disability care. But back in 2011 this maverick was not well-received. Tamar knocked on 62 potential investors’ doors, mostly pitching to nay-sayers who dismissed her idea of people with dementia living in a small assisted household on a regular suburban street. But she persevered and won over a couple of high net worth individuals, who understood her vision, and backed her with seed money to buy her first house. How she started with $5000 in her pocket just 13 years ago and grew her empire to now 22 homes all over Sydney, with 350 employees is an inspiring startup story, with lots of bumps and self-doubt along the way. Take a listen to Tamar Krebs, a true thinker out of the box.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation & physical therapy that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business! It is episode 150! In this milestone episode, we're diving into a topic that's at the heart of long-term success as a canine rehabpreneur: transformational leadership. Whether you're solo or managing a team, how you lead—yourself, your clients, and your business—matters more than anything else. We explore the difference between transactional vs. transformational leadership, why most of us were raised around transactional models, and how shifting your mindset can build a stronger business, deeper client relationships, and a more empowered team. Listen to the full episode as we discuss: Transformational leadership is key to long-term business success, whether you're solo or managing a team. Transactional leadership relies on a reward/punishment model, which often leaves people feeling undervalued and unsupported. Transformational leadership focuses on developing people, not just getting tasks done—helping them grow in skill, confidence, and purpose. You must lead yourself first—your growth as a business owner directly impacts how far your business can go. The client relationship should be transformational too, not just transactional. Educate and empower clients to feel involved and supported. “Drop-off” appointments risk making clients feel like a number—being present and involved builds loyalty and connection. Help your team (or yourself) understand the 'why' behind processes, not just the 'what'—this builds buy-in and improves outcomes. Transformational leadership differentiates you in a competitive field, especially as corporate and mobile clinics continue to grow.

“I do so much for them, and they don't even notice”. Sounds like a familiar thought? Many parents of struggling teens or young adults feel used, taken for granted, or stuck in a dynamic where love feels more like a series of trades than a relationship.In this episode, I'm joined again by therapist Trevor Allen to unpack the tricky dynamic of transactional parenting and behavior: what it is, how it shows up, and most importantly, how to shift out of it. From “I let you go out, so you should clean your room” to “I do everything for you, and you won't even help me out,” we explore how as well-meaning parents we can end up in a tit-for-tat cycle that erodes trust and connection.It's not only us as parents who can experience this and feel unseen. Believe it or not, our teens might be experiencing the same thing. Miscommunication, mismatched expectations, and unspoken needs can keep both parent and teen feeling unseen.This is a compassionate, eye-opening episode for any parent trying to find their way back to genuine connection, without keeping the score. Not everything has to feel like a negotiation. Let's explore this topic more in today's episode.In this episode on feeling used by your teen, we cover:What transactional parenting is and why it often shows up during tough seasons;How the “I give, you give” pattern damages trust and connection;What to say when you feel used or taken for granted by your teen;How to spot (and shift) transactional tendencies in your parenting;The importance of modeling healthy, reciprocal relationships;Why it's compliance but connection that is at the foundation for long-term change;And more!Looking for support?

What if your next fundraising event wasn't just another rubber chicken gala—but a magnetic, mission-driven experience people couldn't stop talking about? That's exactly what Brittany Bedford, Customer Success Manager at Bloomerang, urges nonprofit leaders to imagine.In this high-energy episode, Brittany dives deep into the art of turning events from forgettable to phenomenal. She shares fresh research, real-world examples, and wildly creative strategies that help nonprofits connect with long-term donors in meaningful, memorable ways.“We've got to shift from the fundraiser's point of view to the attendee's,” Brittany emphasizes. “They're coming to feel connected. This is their chance to be a part of something meaningful.”Julia Patrick, host, agrees—and doesn't hold back: “We don't even sit down and ask, what do our guests need? That's dreadful. We just copy and paste the last event!”From gamified donor experiences and staff-led greetings to runway walk-offs and dogs painting art live onstage, Brittany proves that creativity isn't just a nice-to-have—it's a donor retention superpower. In one standout example, she describes an event where guests interacted with service dogs creating art, then bid on those pieces at auction. “People were laughing, posting, and telling the story for weeks,” she recalls.She also unpacks Bloomerang's new research showing that:·        70% of donors say a fun experience makes them more likely to stay engaged·        53% say gamification was their most memorable event moment·        Yet only 6% of fundraisers are implementing this!The takeaway? Nonprofits must ditch the rinse-and-repeat and embrace innovation—starting with the very first hello. Whether you're planning your first gala or your fiftieth, this episode is a game-changer for how you think about donor events.00:00:00 Welcome and Guest Introduction00:02:00 Brittany's Role at Bloomerang00:03:40 Transitioning from Transactional to Inspirational Events00:06:00 Copy-Paste Event Planning Pitfalls00:08:30 New Research: What Donors Really Want00:10:20 Gamification at Events: Why It Works00:13:00 Making Staff and Board Comfortable with Engagement00:15:00 Rethinking Guest Check-In and First Impressions00:17:00 Dogs Painting Art: An Unforgettable Event Idea00:20:00 Peer-to-Peer Meets Fashion Show Fundraiser00:23:30 Using Event Data for Future Engagement00:27:00 Can Small Teams Pull This Off?#DonorEngagement #NonprofitEvents #FundraisingInnovationFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

When Dominique left the classroom and jumped headfirst into real estate, she did what a lot of us do—picked up the phone and started cold calling. And guess what? It worked… until the burnout hit.

Dennis from Chesterfield, Missouri, wants to know if sales coaching truly moves the performance needle, especially when shifting from transactional approaches to more consultative selling. Below are the key insights from our conversation on why coaching matters, how it boosts sales and culture, and what leaders should do right now to make it happen. Why Sales Coaching Is Essential Sales is a skill position. Even the best reps lose their edge if they're left on their own for too long. Much like elite athletes, sales professionals need ongoing input to fine-tune their mechanics, recharge their motivation, and keep small errors from turning into big problems. Coaching can be the difference between a rep who has plateaued and one who keeps climbing—because it provides immediate, personalized feedback when it counts most. From Knowledge Acquisition to Knowledge Application Training is vital for learning new strategies, product details, and selling techniques, but it doesn't guarantee that anyone will actually use those ideas. That's where coaching comes in. A coach helps each individual absorb and adapt those lessons to their unique style, role, or territory. Research shows that simply sending people to training without one-on-one follow-up leads to a big dip in retention and performance. But when coaching supports training, skill application soars—along with results. Leading, Managing, and Coaching: The Three Pillars of Leadership Sales leadership has three core pillars. Leading sets the emotional vision of where the team is headed. It's getting people emotionally connected to a future state. Managing is driving the step by step processes that execute strategy. Coaching is developing your people to execute at a high level. It is the force that keeps every member of the rowing in the right direction. Think about it this way. 90% of strategy (leading) is execution (managing) AND 90% of execution is people (coaching). Everything depends on people which is why you can't afford not to coach. Sales Leadership and Coaching Priorities Leaders who prioritized weekly one-on-ones, real-time one-to-one coaching, and rigorous sales pipeline reviews consistently deliver better results and productivity. One of my top clients reconfigured its leadership approach with inside sales reps, focusing on call-by-call coaching in real time. While the broader industry shrank, this company grew by over 20%. The common thread? Leaders were present. They weren't waiting for problems to surface; they intervened early and often, guiding reps through each challenge. Why Simply Showing Up Makes a Difference Leaders sometimes fear that sitting with their reps will feel intrusive, yet just being there raises performance. When a coach or manager listens in on a sales call or rides along on an outside sales appointment, reps immediately sharpen their focus. They're more likely to use proven techniques and avoid shortcuts. Even better is when the leader offers coaching in the moment—helping the rep pivot if the call starts going sideways. Catching issues before they snowball is how reps maintain a consistently high standard of performance. The Power of Being Side by Side One sales organization I work with discovered, after a big dip in sales productivity, that none of its sales managers were spending time on the floor. Rather than spending time on the sales floor coaching, the leaders were in their offices, behind closed doors grading calls. As soon as the managers started actively coaching—right next to their people, live—the entire team's win-rates rose sharply. True coaching works best in real time, because your rep can implement what they just learned to get better on the next call. The Culture Shift from Transactional to Consultative When a coach is on the floor or in the car, they can see how a rep handles difficult questions, responds to objections, or frames value to a hesitant buyer.
